Will this work for an emergency queen?

[Mountaineerfan]

I have one hive that overwintered, but is currently queenless (no evidence of queen, no eggs or brood, but there are  bees still).  I just introduced a package and queen to another hive on drawn comb last week.  If this queen shows to be laying well, could I take a frame of eggs and brood from it and put it in the other hive to give the overwintered hive a chance to raise their own queen?  I have been unable to find any breeders that have one queen available for me, so I was thinking of doing this.  I know it will set my new hive back some, but with there being drawn comb, and if there are a couple of frames of brood going, It should work right?
Thanks!

You could but it will take time for the queen to start laying. I would do a combining of the hives.

Yes you can.  Or you can combine now and split later.  I'm only saying this because your in GA.  Here there are no drones yet.
